Today we are @ScotParl with @RCPCHScotland to launch the #WorriedAndWaiting report, sharing the impact that waiting for health services has on children, young people & their families. Waiting can create worry, mistrust and additional anxiety at an already difficult time. 1/3

Pioneering nurse Daphne Steele has become the first person honoured with an English Heritage #blueplaque installed outside of London.
